Is there a song where the minute you hear it you think of the story itself or the vibe of it? Same question about the characters. (This can include mc and willow)
General Vibes/Willow/MC: Ghost on the Shore by Lord Huron.
" Lie where I land let my bones turn to sand / I was born on the lake and I don't want to leave / Every eye on the coast ever more / Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore. "
Beck: Bloody Shirt by To Kill a King
" Oh you lie next to me / Heart is beating heavily / Blood in your hair though / Blood on your shirt / It's too late to say you're sorry / Say you're sorry still. "
Croft: Hollow by Cloudeater
" I move in all directions / I don't need any protection / And this beast is interjecting / And this soul can't help but connect it / And I'm ill with all that I know / Cause it shows what little I know / I want sacred, I want final / And I'm seeking it wherever I go. "
Jay: May Loving Hands Show You The Way by Grand Commander
" The thought of moving on is wrong when / All I want is feeling a / Forgotten song that's falling from my / Fingers like a dream into the mist. "
Perri: Touch-Tone Telephone by Lemon Demon
" I try to call you every day / I'm rehearsing what to say when the truth comes out (of my very own mouth) / I've been working on a unified theory / If I make it through tonight, everybody's gonna hear me out. "
Ravi: The Fear Song by Amanda Palmer
" They left me at night in the heart of the forest, the air full of noises / The creatures that eat us just feet from my face / As their wild cries sounded, and darkness surrounded / And still I did not bat an eye. "
Yasmin: Like Real People Do by Hozier
" I could not ask you where you came from / I could not ask, neither could you / Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips / We could just kiss like real people do. "

Fandom song animatic tournament: Bracket 2 Side A Round 3
Touch-Tone Telephone - Lemon Demon
"I try to call you every day I'm rehearsing what to say when the truth comes out (of my very own mouth) I've been working on a unified theory If I make it through tonight, everybody's gonna hear me out 'Cause I'm the right one On my touch-tone, touch-tone telephone I'm the only one On your AM, AM radio"
My R ([Blank]'s R) - KurageP (Cover by Rachie)
"Just as I was about to take my shoes Off of the rooftop, there I see A girl with braided hair here before me Despite myself, I go and scream 'Hey, don't do it, please!' "
Remember that we're voting on how Iconic they are for ANIMATICS, not for the song itself. In order to make things fair, the tone and mood of the song should not affect how iconic it is (for example, a serious song should not be considered more iconic than a joke song just because it's serious)
Propaganda and animatic links of the songs under the cut:
Touch-Tone Telephone - Lemon Demon
Propaganda:
Lemon Demon 👌
Animatics with the song:
Invader Zim
The Magicians
The Magnus Archives
Generation Loss
Warrior Cats Mapleshade Animatic
My R ([Blank]'s R) - KurageP
Propaganda:
I cant explain this one other than i just remember seeing it a whole whole lot
CMONNNNNNN THIS IS THE MOST ICONIC SONG POSSIBLE FOR AN ANIMATIC ITS EVERYWHERE also a banger
my r is such an iconic song for animatics, there are so many different interpretations of the song and it’s so lovely to see all of them in different animatics across different videos not to mention the comment sections usually have like essays of in depth analysis which is so good bro also it’s so catchy my r sweep!!!!!
Animatics with the song:
Mystic Messenger
Heathers
DSMP Tubbo Animatic
OMORI
Karmaland Evil Luzu Animatic
Please be cautious and read the title, description and warning cards on the animatic videos if you decide to watch them. If you've got specific triggers I'd recommend even more caution when watching animatics of fandoms you don't know, since sometimes canon-typical themes don't get warnings.

*singing loudly in my lab, working, not seeing Maglor watching and leaning against the doorframe*
I think it's time for you to know the awful truth
Mm, the truth about me, and the truth about you
'Cause you're a brand-new species
Big cat (oh-oh), space Nazis, Robert Stack (oh, oh)
God-damn it, gonna snap, Leonard Nimoy (oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Call me back (call me back)
I try to call you every day
I'm rehearsing what to say when the truth comes out (of my very own mouth)
I've been working on a unified theory
If I make it through tonight, everybody's gonna hear me out
'Cause I'm the right one
On my touch-tone, touch-tone telephone
I'm the only one
On your AM, AM radio
Oh, I'm crying now, authentic tears
They flow out of me when I think about you
'Cause you're the only person in the world who'd understand
'Cause you're the only person in the world who'd understand the meaning of this
Oh my god
I try, and I try, and I try to make you listen to me
I try to call you every day
I'm rehearsing what to say when the truth comes out (of my very own mouth)
I've been working on a unified theory
If I make it through tonight, everybody's gonna hear me out
*vibing while i work*

“Do you always sing such interestingly strange songs?” he chuckled. His stance against the doorframe hadn't changed, but his facial expression had morphed from humoured to whimsical as he continued to watch you.

REPOST & LIST 6 SONGS THAT INSPIRE YOU TO WRITE YOUR MUSE .
In no particular order . . .
Touch-Tone Telephone, by Lemon Demon.
And like you, I'm a genius before my time Disbelieving, that's the real crime Pretty soon, they'll discover me In the Super-Sargasso Sea I try to call you every day What can I say when the truth comes out? (Of my very own mouth) I've been working on a unified theory If I make it through tonight, everybody's gonna hear me out (now)
Dust and Ashes, by Josh Groban.
Is this how I die? Was there ever any other way my life could be? Is this how I die? Such a slough of feelings inside of me But then why am I screaming? Why am I shaking? Oh god, was there something that I missed? Did I squander my divinity? Was happiness within me the whole time?
Dead Man's Party, by Oingo Boingo.
I got my best suit and my tie Shiny silver dollar on either eye I hear the chauffeur comin' to my door Says there's room for maybe just one more I was struck by lighting, walkin' down the street I was hit by something last night in my sleep It's a dead man's party, who could ask for more Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door Leave your body and soul at the door
Dr. Wanna Do, by Caro Emerald.
I sat down and I waited Til I heard my name get called It's like I'm at races And I think I won them all He asked me to step forward First I caught my breath, and ran For endless observation In the hands of Superman
What This World Is Coming to, by Nate Ruess ft. Beck.
So let's get high in the moonlight Even the stars go right over our head I know I'm gonna shine here in the afterlife Leaving the fight for peace of mind instead You know that I can't stop thinkin' bout you You're the source of everything I do You brought faith to songs I sing, so I went and bought a diamond ring I wanna spend each night here with you
Paper Rings, by Taylor Swift.
In the winter, in the icy outdoor pool When you jumped in first, I went in too I'm with you even if it makes me blue Which takes me back To the color that we painted your brother's wall Honey, without all the exes, fights, and flaws We wouldn't be standing here so tall, so Kiss you once 'cause I know you had a long night (Oh) Kiss you twice 'cause it's gonna be alright Three times 'cause you waited your whole life (One, two, one two three four)
Tagged by: @revenantinflames (Thank you!)
Tagging: anyone who wants to do it!
Honestly, these give me such different energies and correlate to entirely different Hanks and different time periods:
Dust and Ashes has me RIGHT in Morrisonian body angst and depression.
What This World Is Coming To has me in what I'm starting to call the 'animal with no natural habitat' aspect of Hank's feeling of never belonging and need to find solace in others.
Paper Rings is his hopeless romanticism and boundless energy.
Dr. Wanna Do is his sexuality and his confidence.
Dead Man's Party is his eccentricity and moroseness and fascination with the unknown.
And Touch-Tone Telephone is . . . well. All of it, actually.

below the cut i will elaborate on both in case you are not sure
for touch tone telephone, the lines in particularly fixated on were:
“Oh, I'm crying now, authentic tears They flow out of me when I think about you 'Cause you're the only person in the world who'd understand 'Cause you're the only person in the world who'd understand the meaning of this Oh my god I try, and I try, and I try to make you listen to me
I try to call you every day I'm rehearsing what to say when the truth comes out (of my very own mouth) I've been working on a unified theory If I make it through tonight, everybody's gonna hear me out”
in my head, touch tone telephone MV will be about kano trying to save his family from their inevitable death by their fathers and the weight of being the only alive person who knows what will happen and not being able to tell anyone. also it’s very out of left field and i think it’s funny to surprise people with it.
for pork soda, it’s meant to be equally focused on all 4 quartet members but split into halves: shintaro and ene in real life and ayano and haruka in the daze. it’s about nostalgia and longing for the other person and being unable to see them again, being isolated on your own accord (since they all do this) and regretting their past mistakes because they all blame themselves for soemthing!!!
the lines i’m particularly obsessed with are actually the opening lines:
“Somewhere in South End when you were fun You took my hand and you made me run Up past the prison to the seafront You climbed the cliff edge and took the plunge
Why can't we laugh now like we did then? How come I see you and ache instead? How come you only look pleased in bed? Let's climb the cliff edge and jump again”
but also “why don’t i say it then? // i want you all the time”!!!!!!!!
both of these options are ENTIRELY in my head and ENTIRELY me using literal lyrics as metaphors for other shit so i apologize if neither of these helped you choose.
thank you kagepro fandom

Her: you must be Spirit Phone if you think we're hanging out
Me:
Die-hard fans adored your hands
They loved your throat and quote-unquote, "You"
Hey, remember Michael Jackson?
Michael Jackson really happened
Delta, Echo, Alpha, Delta
Walking on the moon forever
You are dead and buried, you are dead (oh, no)
That's being revised
Even as we speak, we're synthesizing blood and organs
Synthesizing heart and soul
Even Katy Perry knows you're dead (oh, no)
Won't she be surprised?
When we get your heart to start tomorrow
When you see the chart tomorrow, you'll be number one
Bro, you look amazing
Really put together
It's like you haven't aged a day, oh
It's like we know what we're doing or something
You've been gone for way too long
Like half a year, an entire career for some
Good luck getting into Heaven
If you live past 27
Listen to the radiation
Put you back in circulation, oh, no
You are dead and buried, you are dead (oh, no)
Oh, but you never died
Even as we speak, we're synthesizing blood and organs
Synthesizing heart and soul
Ain't no cemetary you can't shed (oh, no)
Ain't nowhere you can hide
Don't be frightened of us
Soon enough you're gonna love us, just remember
This is your last ride
Ever, forever
Fill up your lungs
Feel better?
Look, it's you
Good as new
New hands, new throat
New living tissue
You earned this new purpose
Lifetime achievement award
Don't be nervous, baby
We put a billion eyes back on you
From the grave to the stage
You're a natural, babe
You are dead and buried, you are dead (oh, no)
That's being revised
Even as we speak, we're synthesizing blood and organs
Synthesizing heart and soul
Even Katy Perry knows you're dead (oh, no)
Won't she be surprised?
When we get your heart to start tomorrow
When you see the chart tomorrow, you'll be number one

On your AM, AM radio
Don't hang up yet, I'm not done
I'm an expert, I'm the one
The one who was right all along
Better to be laughed at than wrong
I'm an expert in my field
UFOlogy, yes, it's all real
Ancient aliens, it's all true
I'm an expert just like you
And like you, I'm a genius before my time
Disbelieving, that's the real crime
Pretty soon, they'll discover me
In the Super-Sargasso Sea
I try to call you every day
What can I say when the truth comes out? (Of my very own mouth)
I've been working on a unified theory
If I make it through tonight, everybody's gonna hear me out (now)
'Cause I'm the right one (now) on my touch-tone telephone (now)
On my touch-tone, touch-tone telephone
I'm the only one on your AM radio
(On your AM, AM radio)
The day they found me, I hadn't yet been played
Inside my workshop behind the old arcade
Electric desires had unraveled all my wires
Now I'm in the box for safekeeping
The news reporters reported that I died
But all my organs were living on inside
Circuit board to brain with two lungs collecting change
One big human heart gently beeping
You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you unless you cheat
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine
Thank God for business, they let me take the floor
I stood so proudly, like I was going to war
Players soon appeared and I quickly was revered
This must be what love would have felt like
Such dedication, they came from miles away
With eyes so piercing, they'd wait their turn to play
Perfect patient lines because I was in their minds
I could do whatever I felt like (whatever I felt like)
You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you unless you cheat
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine
I'm happy for years and years
And, only eating the occasional maintenance man
Only driving a few kids to madness
Maybe they were predisposed to madness, who knows?
I only want to have fun
But now they're telling me my days here are done
'Cause there's a tiny little box that they make in Japan
And pretty soon it's gonna fit in your hand
It's getting lonely, it's getting hard to breathe
The arcade's empty, I think it's Christmas Eve
Someone's broken in, now they're painting on my skin
Breaking me and taking my quarters
Bashing in my face with a crowbar
Kicking me and pushing me over
Now they see my blood on their sneakers
You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you unless you cheat
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-da-da-da
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-da-da-da
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Oh, knowing what we know, knowing what we don't know
This is gonna change our world
Feeling how I feel, I'll accept the unreal
If you be my no-eyed girl from nowhere mankind can go
There's too much light, blinding white
Your matter tells mine to scatter
It's alright, it's alright
From the moment that we met
I've been awake like I've never been awake in all my life
If I spoke your language I could tell you how I feel
But your language isn't real
In every myth there's a little bit of truth
But I cannot say a thing (I cannot say a thing)
Without proof, oh no
Knowing what we know, knowing what we do not know
This is gonna change our world
I might go insane if I hear your full name
If you be my no-eyed girl from nowhere mankind can go
There's too much light, blinding white
Emotions, human implosions
It's alright, it's alright
Right before the kiss I noticed something in the air
Molecules existed when there should have been none there
Chemical reactions with the surface of your skin
Some will say my actions let the no-eyed people in
And I'd do it all again, and I'd do it all again, and I'd do it all again
When he died
Turns out he left behind a mansion full of other people's skulls
The odd thing is, they never found his own, when he died
When he died
He somehow left behind strange symbols on the floor beneath his corpse
Investigators said the wood was scorched, when he died
When he died they found so many scorpions inside his lungs
When he died the statues of his missing children cried
What was later found to be his blood
When he died (On a dark and stormy night)
They telephoned his wife (Who reacted with delight)
But gradually her voice began to fade to nothing
And the Laughing Record played
The Laughing Record played
When he died
They found a message etched into his spine
That said when he died an endless age of untold nightmares would be nigh
And the blood would make the seas run red
When he died (On a dark and stormy night)
A nearby shed caught fire (It simply caught alight)
And when they cleared the charred wood from the ground
Inside they found a painting of a clown (A creepy painting of a clown)
He'd painted it when he was just a child
But scrawled upon the back was exactly when he died
When he died, when he died, when he died, when he died
Your body is so sweet now, baby, I'm saying trick or treat now
You know I've got to have you, yeah, you sexy sweet cadaver
All wrapped up like a mummy, I'll cover you in honey
And wait a hundred years or so
You know, you know it isn't sexual (It isn't sexual)
Strictly confectional (Strictly confectional)
Strictly medicinal (Strictly medicinal)
If a little nontraditional
I'm digging up your coffin and pouring out the contents
Your sexy sweet solution is prime for distribution
Sweet bod
Your body's starting rumors of Mason jars of sweetness
Whose satisfied consumers have often claimed to witness
Some sexy shrinking tumors, a sweet return to fitness
They're just a hundred bucks or so
You know, you know it isn't sexual (It isn't sexual)
Strictly professional (Strictly professional)
Entrepreneurial (Entrepreneurial)
Oh, and what a sweet memorial
I'm digging up your coffin and pouring out the contents
Good God, I'm glad to see you
Won't you be my panacea?
Sweet bod, sweet bod, oh, sweet bod, sweet bod, sweet bod
Extra clever earth-bound spirit
Ghost in the form of a mongoose
And I have hands, and I have feet
I'll never die
I am a freak
Hello, I'm here
I'm living in the wall
I know I might be small, but
I, I, I, am a freak
Thou wilt never know what I am
I am the fifth dimension
And I'll split the atom
And if you see me, you're paralyzed (Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Pillar of salt, you're mummified (Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Hello, I'm here
I'm living in the wall
I know I might be small
But I am the eighth wonder
And I was born, 1852
And I was born in India
And I shall haunt like the Buggane
With such weird noise and clanking chains
Hello, I'm here
I'm living in the wall
I know I might be small, but
I, I, I, am a freak
I say "vanished" to underground
Jim, let me go
I watch like Hell
And I have hands, and I have feet (Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'll never die (Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I am a freak
Hello, I'm here
I'm living in the wall
I know I might be small
But I am the eighth wonder
Eighth wonder of the world
You'll never get to see
What in the name of God can I be?
My mind's this cave
So dark, no moon, no stars
No sound, just hearts and walls of art
Strange things happen for no reason
That's all I know
My mind's this cave
So dark, no moon, no stars, no stars
No sound, just hearts and walls of art
These creatures I've seen
Some of them edible, some of them mean
That's all I know
I'm not like you
You fly, you burn my eyes, my eyes
You speak in my mind
Your kind all died when you arrived
I saw you making fire
Strange things happen for no reason at all
I can't help you
You're not human, you're not animal
My mind's this cave
So dark, no moon, no stars, no stars
No sound, just hearts and walls of art
And you, you fly
You burn my eyes
You speak in my mind
You seem surprised that I don't hear you
Cold and windy
Dark and stormy
Let me float your way
Please don't ignore me
What you girls really need's a soft, fuzzy man
(An ambient man)
A trick of the light to love you tonight
You don't understand, there's nothing quite like a soft, fuzzy man
Can't you see me?
Why can't you see me?
I'm all around, all cold and dreamy
What you girls really need's a soft, fuzzy man
(A wisp of smoke man)
To waft over you and cloud up your view
So show me your hands and wave them right through a soft, fuzzy man
Although I have no arms to hold you in a human passion burns within me
I need to feel like I exist
So please baby please baby step into the mist
Don't be nervous
No, don't be nervous
I'm not like other guys who have a surface
What you girls really need's a soft, fuzzy man
(An atmospheric man)
A shimmering puff of indistinct love
What's better than the vague embrace of a soft, fuzzy man?
Who seeps through your thoughts
Who makes you see spots
Who blows through the air
Who plays with your hair
I know it sounds crazy, but once you go hazy, you'll understand
I'm your soft, fuzzy man
Hey, turn your techno music down
Your grandpa's coming by tonight
Now, I don't want to hear it
We'll be having macaroni
You will be polite when he's here tonight
Don't talk about the internet
Your grandpa doesn't understand
You will not bring your Gameboy or whatever to the table
Do you understand?
He doesn't understand
As your father, I expressly forbid it
As your father, I expressly forbid it
As your father, I expressly forbid it
I'm your dad, I'm your dad
What happened to my medicine?
The stuff I take to keep my hair
It's obvious you stole it, and you sold it on the street
'Cause you don't even care if I lose my hair
Okay, I found my medicine
I'm sorry that I yelled at you
But let this be a lesson if you ever steal my medicine
That's what I'll do
I'll yell at you
As your father, I expressly forbid it
As your father, I expressly forbid it
As your father, I expressly forbid it
I'm your dad, I'm your dad
As your father, I expressly forbid it, yeah
As your father, I expressly forbid it, woah
As your father, I expressly forbid it
I'm your dad, yeah, yeah, yeah
As your father, I expressly forbid it (yeah)
As your father, I expressly forbid it (yeah)
As your father, I expressly forbid it
I'm your dad, I'm your dad
I'll quit my job the day I die
I'll quit my job the day I die
I break my back and never cry
I break my back and never cry
I'm losing all my hair, losing all my hair
I'm losing all my hair because a man provides
I'm standing on a chair, standing on a chair
I'm standing on a chair because I earn my life
I earn my life, I earn my life
I learned it from my father and tell it to my wife
Jesus Christ, don't tell me not to hurry
I wouldn't be so worried if I wasn't always right
While you're asleep I'm terrified
While you're asleep I'm terrified
I see the end before my eyes
I see the end before my eyes
A marker on a grave, marker on a grave
Marker on a grave and I know I'm the one who died
And underneath the name, underneath the name
Underneath my name it says, "He Earned His Life"
I earn my life, I earn my life
I learned it from my father my father never lied
Jesus Christ, better learn how to forage
Utilities and mortgage are all that will survive
I wish my life was on a graph
So I knew how much left I have to earn tonight
It burns too bright
I think about my self a lot 'cause it's the only one I've got
I've earned this life
What have I done to earn this life?
I earn my life, I earn my life
I learned it from my father and tell it to my wife
Jesus Christ, don't tell me not to hurry
I wouldn't be so worried if I wasn't always right
'Cause I earn my life, I earn my life
I learned it from my father and my father never lied
Jesus Christ, we better learn how to forage
Utilities and mortgage are all that will survive
Utilities and mortgage are all that will survive
In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem
Government is the solution to our problem
Are you unhappy, girl, in this confusing world?
Where everything you earn is getting left to burn?
If it were up to me, then living would be free
And I can give you that, and I can give you that
They'll take your money into their greasy hands
And spend your money
(They do this to disrespect you)
And take away your land
(I know kung fu, I will save you)
'Cause you're worth saving, baby
Deregulating, baby
I'm Ronald Reagan, baby
I'm Ronald Reagan, yeah
I'll save you, honey, you'll never be alone
I'll save the business
(If you love me, say you love me)
That you will someday own
(They hate freedom, I'll defeat them)
Not like in comics, baby
With economics, baby
With Reaganomics, baby
Atomic bomb it, yeah
Are you unhappy, girl, in this confusing world?
Where everything you earn is getting left to burn?
If it were up to me, then money would be free
And I can give you that, and I can give you that
If you just hold my hand (If you just hold my hand)
If you just close your eyes (If you just close your eyes)
If you get in my car (If you get in my car)
I'll take you for a ride (I'll take you for a ride)
With Reaganomics, baby
With Reaganomics, baby
With Reaganomics, baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah
(With Reaganomics, with Reaganomics, with Reaganomics)
I want to meet potential architects all night
I want to purchase urban real estate all night
I want to study local zoning laws all night
I want to calculate construction costs all night
I have a vision of a man-made object
I have the money, I have the means
I have the strangest dreams
I caught insomnia from looking at the moon
I found a picture of a rectangle I drew
I am an altogether different man by day
I have the influence to send that man far away
I have a vision of a man-made object (Towering over all)
I have a vision of a man-made object (Towering over all)
I have a vision of a man-made object (Towering over all)
I have a vision of a man-made object (Towering over all)
I have the money, I have the means
I've been having the strangest dreams, baby
Over and over
The pheromones, the overwhelming harmony
Consuming the colony
The Circle rules your life
Chop, chop! Don't want to be late
Lift up and carry your weight
You've got no choice but to dance in a spiral of ants
True bugs might laugh in your face
Don't fret, you're leading the race
Don't let the bastards step on your hands in a spiral of ants
You can't remember where you came from (In a spiral of ants)
You can't remember where you're going (In a spiral of ants)
You can't remember knowing
You are one ant
Over, it's over
The pheromones, the self-avoiding odyssey
Consuming the colony
The Circle rules your life
Now, now! Don't run out of breath
Don't feel surrounded by death, no
Take the wheel, this could be your chance, in a spiral of ants
False bugs, you'll soon be alone
See how they drop like a stone
You're free now forever to dance in a spiral of ants
Now you remember where you came from (From a spiral of ants)
Now you remember where you're going (To a spiral of ants)
You've got to keep it flowing
You are one ant
(Over, over, over)
Over and over
The pheromones, the overwhelming harmony
Consuming the colony
Creating its own gravity
Before we knew it we became a hurricane
And the bugs who laughed got blown away
As we proclaimed:
The Circle rules your life
